Mechanical Engineering with Tradition and Future
The History of Maschinenbau Bardowick GmbH
Precision is our benchmark, innovation our drive. With over two decades of experience, we develop customized manufacturing solutions for demanding industries.
Our History – From Founding to Today
The history of Maschinenbau Bardowick GmbH began in 1984 in the field of special machine & plant construction and welding technology.
The development of the first powder coating machine in 1998 – a technological cornerstone that paved the way for today’s market position. In 2002, Mr. Peter Albrecht and Mr. Michail Himmelmann took over the shares of the then Deckert Maschinenbau GmbH. With their visionary entrepreneurial spirit, they consistently developed the company further, especially in the field of extrusion downstream machines, which were supplemented this year by belt pullers and cutting machines.
A significant innovation leap followed in 2004 with the introduction of a new type of powder coating machine, which set industry standards through a patented filter cleaning process.
In 2007, a 100% subsidiary was established with the founding of IMW Inżynieria Maszyn Wałcz Sp. z o.o. in Wałcz/Poland. This expansion enabled a sustainable increase in production capacities and complements the highly qualified welding technology in the company – a field of expertise that has since been an integral part of our service portfolio.

Shaping the Future – Generational Change and Expansion
2014 marked the beginning of a new phase in the company’s development: With the entry of Mr. Christoph Eidner, a long-time employee, into the management, the strategic future orientation was secured for the long term.
The increasing demands for quality and flexibility led to the decision in 2015 to build a modern production facility in the “Wittorfer Heide” industrial park in Bardowick. Since 2017, this location has been the new home of Maschinenbau Bardowick GmbH.
In 2019, the independent direct sales of the optimized extrusion downstream machines began – including the MB Coater powder coating machine and the belt pullers and cutting machines under the name MB Cutter – another milestone on the path to greater independence and customer focus.
With Mr. Peter Albrecht’s retirement at the beginning of 2020, Mr. Christoph Eidner officially took over the management and has since continued the success story together with Mr. Michail Himmelmann.
In 2022, Sebastian Schulz became part of the company, securing the company’s succession.
In 2025, he joined the management. In the same year, a new machine type of the MB Coater powder coating machine was also introduced, which once again set new technological standards in precision and efficiency.
